"We moved to Brisbane six months ago from the Gold Coast. I am a drug and alcohol nurse and Jasper is a cardiology doctor here at the RBWH but we first met each other working at a hospital in Sydney. I am European so our baby Violette is spelt with the double 't', it's a French-English name. We are going home today and looking forward to going on strolls around our neighbourhood with Violette in the pram. The midwives on this ward have been amazing and we're so excited to be parents."

TPCH Children's ward nurse Melissa loves to get her adrenalin pumping in her spare time, enjoying BMX riding, where she recently competed at the world championships held in Brisbane. 🚵🏁
After Melissa's husband, son and daughter all joined the sport, she decided to follow suit and make it a family affair and has now been competing for the last eight years.
"I just love the social aspect of it. I've had a fair few injuries so it's a bit gnarly but so fun," Melissa said.
"I actually really wanted to be a physio and started in nursing to then cross over into physio but at 18 I was apparently classified as a mature age student, and couldn't cross over, so continued with nursing.
"My teacher just happened to get me onto the paediatric ward for a day, and I just loved it and said if I'm doing nursing, this is what I've got to do. I've always thought if I can make a kid smile, then I've done my job today!"
👏#ShoutoutSaturday to Melissa and her double life as a BMX champ and paediatric nurse legend!
Freaking awesome
Well done 👏
Melissa you are amazing!!!
Heck yeah Melissa 🤘

RBWH Midwives Esther and Jamie both had slightly unconventional routes to midwifery.
Whilst Jamie discovered midwifery for the first time through a Facebook ad in the middle of studying criminal justice, Esther was working in HR, before having children of her own made her want to pursue midwifery.
Both women couldn't be happier with their career change, and their day-to-day supporting women.
"I am so passionate about women's health and the sisterhood of working with my colleagues, alongside midwifery I also do childcare education classes here, and that really feeds something in me," Jamie said.
"It's not all about babies being born, that's just one day in their life, but so many people remember the people who cared for them along the way, especially if they are here for a while. Being able to build that rapport with our patients regardless of what is going on in their life, it's so satisfying," Esther added.

I was honoured to have Esther involved in my prenatal care and she added so much to our journey. ❤️
Beautiful women!
I was in a post office in Gympie one day when this guy approached me and asked, "Do you remember me?", I must have looked a bit puzzled, and he continued," You delivered my daughter's baby." Then it clicked with me, and I asked how she was going. Great thing about small towns - you're remembered. (Bub and mum were going well).
Amazing to see great midwives! Esther excited to see this
Gorgeous girls and wonderful midwives! Love working with you both! 💖
Two amazing Midwives 💕💕

Zeinab took on the adventure of a lifetime when she left home in Iran to become a Nuclear Medicine Scientist in Brisbane, working at RBWH.
While she started her studies back home, she decided to move to Brisbane on a UQ scholarship to complete her biomedical imaging PHD - with Queensland's sunshine and greenery keeping her here for work. 🌞🌳
Her role sees her work with patients to conduct diagnostic and molecular imaging, where she sees mostly cancer patients, but she also works across health issues such as kidney function, thyroid function and bone density.
“I chose a career in healthcare because I wanted a job that combines science with human connection - it gives me a sense of purpose to know that I’m contributing to patient care and making someone’s day a little easier,” she said.
“It’s a multidisciplinary department so I am looking to grow my skills in various areas and contribute both clinically and through research to improve patient outcomes.
“Outside of work, I love hiking and exploring nature, as it’s very green and different to home. I am also learning to play the piano and doing my research, which keeps me busy.”
Congratulations on your achievement- I hope you become an AUS Citizen 💐
Congratulations ,on all your achievements 👏 .
Zeinab, a very warm welcome to Australia. Peace and good health.
Amazing Zeinab 👏🏻
Yay Zeinab 👍🏻love working with you
Fantastic achievement. 🌺
